Glad to hear your son is getting into the management end of things and away
the grunts. ;-)

So where are your eBook versions...

It seems that an eBook version can be just as successful with little of the
overhead associated with publishing. 

Isn't Amazon starting to feature such editions and I must admit I like books
that have lots of pictures and animations (as well as information). ;-)

We have been selling our own or more precisely my wife's book (I just did
the grunt work of assembling the book and she provided the content and
editing) and though the book will never make anyone rich, we have broken
even and will sell out. Only made a 1000 copies.

I look forward to hearing more about your new book when it gets closer to
being published.

Hi Jim

My son is  now at college Knowledge Management with Business.

Latest book. Been talking with the publisher about MS Dynamics CRM 2011 but
still at an early stage. More an ego trip again as opposed to a business you
could live on.

Hi Martin:

Can't spell?...your profession but be either that of a Doctor or a
programmer...it comes with the territory. Never leave home without that
spell checker. ;-)

So what is your latest book? Have any of your kids followed you into this
noble profession?

Oh, yes I have to either ask or present an Access question... 

Is there any versions of Access that I can not run on Linux because they all
seem to do so but I just have not testing all of them extensively?

For whats it worth my own personal thinking on the list.

I hope Access D never changes. Without it I would not be doing what I do
now. I no longer work with Access but what I learnt here and especially the
people I met here give me the skills and knowledge to push ahead. I have
done things in the many years I have been a member and been places I never
thought I would see and most of it is based around the foundation and the
people of this group.

Has Access died, certainly for me other than a reporting tool for
SharePoint. Is MS focus of the desktop, based on my knowledge and meetings
here with them I would say the web is everything now.

Is AccessD dead, I don't think the spirit of AccessD will ever be. AccessD
to me is the people here. Not the posts or the perceived lack of quality of
the post, it's the friends I have made, the people I met and the help and
experience I have received.

Today I am heading up Business Services at Queens University one of the top
Universitirs in the UK, I have written several books, I have learnt about
life, programming and other things on AccessD from those involved. I have
made lifelong friends here. 


AccessD and the people involved is something that has touched and in many
cases changed lives, I know because it changed mine.

Still cant spell worth S%^t but who cares!!
